155301-155335 each formed 523xx-573xx were split into 153301-153335 and 153351-153385. Later the 573xx vehicles were renumbered to match the unit numbers.

Just to add that all were to be converted to 153s but WYPTE refused to allow its 7 units to be converted and they thus remained as two-car 155s

What I am more interested in is which ones became which?

Eg - 155301 formed which 153s?

Is that something that has been tracked? :)

The 52xxx (DMSL) cars became 153301-335, the 57xxx (DMS) cars became 153351-385.

Does that help?
